84.136 - 109.941 Jade Warshaw

on all sides well yeah i mean there was this carrot dangling out and so many people and i hate that that happened because rachel people's full hope was in the fact that maybe these loans could be forgiven and to just have your hopes dashed like that i hate that for people so if you're concerned about that give us a call 888-825-5225 but really you can call us to talk about anything you want to talk about as long as it's life money relationships don't just call talking about any old thing

109.921 - 123.185 Jade Warshaw

All right. We got Kayla from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Guys, I can't say these words. Minneapolis, Minnesota. Here we go. What's going on, Kayla? Hi. Hi, Kayla. Thank you for taking my call. How are you doing?

124.547 - 144.705 Rachel Cruze

I'm good. My husband was like, you should call the Ramsey show. And I was like, I'm never going to get through. So thank you. Oh, I'm glad you did. Glad you're here. How can we help? Um, so my question is my grandmother is getting older and my parents and sister are taking a trip to go see her and they are encouraging me to go.

144.725 - 170.876 Rachel Cruze

And I'm having a really hard time because we've kind of been, we're in baby step two and we've been Dave ish for a bit, but recently we've been more gazelle. And I'm really having a hard time pausing to do that. And then I'm wondering if I'm going to regret it. So I don't know. I just needed some other perspective. How old's grandma? And is she in good health? 92. Oh, wow. Yeah. She's 92.

170.956 - 173.44 Rachel Cruze

That's so great. And she's been in pretty good health.

478.589 - 499.939 Rachel Cruz

relationship and being a mom yeah is really trumps a lot of this too like right if you're if you have a new baby and you know you're not like and that's that's become a priority than other things that's a very real thing too kayla so a couple of things flying in the mix yes but uh we're never going to tell somebody to not go see their 92 year old grandma let's be real we're actually human

499.919 - 502.483 Rachel Cruz

We have hearts, unlike some people on the Internet think.

502.503 - 521.214 Jade Warshaw

I just know some people were hanging on the edge of their seat like, is Rachel and Jade about to tell her not to go see her dying grandma? Of course not. I know. Go see grandma. Like these things, like you said, when you're 50 years old, you're going to go, oh, I had that last moment. You know, like that's those are things that you treasure for a lifetime. And money is important.

521.494 - 548.016 Jade Warshaw

Don't get me wrong. But it's some things that are more important, like family. This is The Ramsey Show. All right, guys, you're listening to The Ramsey Show. I'm your host, Jade Horshaw, joined by Rachel Cruz. And we just love talking about money. We like talking about the things that nobody wants to talk about. It's very rare, Rachel, that people want to talk about their debt.

547.996 - 563.777 Jade Warshaw

that they want to talk about how much savings they do or don't have, that they want to talk about the things that are stressing them out. But on this show, you can call in and we can open up the closet door, look at the monster, figure out what's going on and hopefully help you solve your problem.

2168.947 - 2178.581 Rachel Cruz

I'm not mad at, we're not mad at nice cars. Although, can I tell you a truth? It's just wild to me of what people will pay in car payments.

2178.721 - 2209.205 Jade Warshaw

It's not worth it. For a car. You made such a good point. Most people have no clue. Sam and I finally have two vehicles. One's a 2012 and one's a 2013. And we bought them. in 2018 and in 2023 so they they were never brand new cars but when my my brother was over at the house this weekend and he saw our newer vehicle and he goes oh that that car is so nice and i'm It's so old, but it's well kept.

2209.225 - 2231.009 Jade Warshaw

But it's in good condition. And look, get it in black. If you get it in black, everything looks much better. If it's an old car, get it in the color black because it's still shiny. It looks better. Don't get red. And definitely don't get like a weird like mustard. Just get... Get black. I'm telling you, that's the way to go. It's timeless is what Jade is saying. It's timeless.

2231.029 - 2251.412 Jade Warshaw

No one will know the difference and you'll have something what is known as money in your pocket. What a life. What a time to be alive. All right, that does it for this hour of the show.
